Veggies

[illuminis]

I'm assuming that Mocha is close to a year old. I got her in Sept. of last year. I know at some point they switch to more greens than insects, but is it usually drastic? Two weeks ago she was eating 20-30 crickets and 5-10 supers for meals and she would only eat a little greens when we were outside. Then she went on a 3 day hunger strike. Now she won't touch crickets or supers and only eat greens from outside (dandelion,thin and broadleaf plantain, Rock Purslane)( all of which are safe to eat) or sweet potatoes or thin carrots.

That's fine, beardies are better off with the majority veggie diet. She will eat insects when she feels the need to. Is she a big girl ?

 

[illuminis]

She is about 441g and 17 3/4".

Yes, she's a big + hefty girl and will pick + choose what she wants now. Perfectly fine and really a bonus for her healthwise that she is leaning towards the veggies.

Lol, with almost 400 supers and 300 crickets left I guess I need another lizard.

Lol, at least the supers can live for months if set up in oatmeal or bran and putting a sweet potato + some greens in with them.
